New product announcement cancelled? (updated)

According to one of our tipsters, the "kickoff webcast" that Christina mentioned over the weekend has been either delayed or cancelled.

A link distributed to webcast participants is, according to the tipster, no longer working. The webcast was scheduled for 10 a.m. Pacific time.

What does this mean for the rumored "Brick"? It's difficult to say. Apple does tend to make product announcements on Tuesdays, but I suppose there's no reason why Apple couldn't deliver the webcast anytime between today and the product's scheduled launch date.

Also, it could be that our tipster is just suffering network problems. If you know more about the webcast, please tip us! Your anonymity is our guarantee.

Thanks, Matt!

Update: Another anonymous tipster wrote in to tell us that the webcast did proceed as scheduled, but did not discuss new products (only things like metrics for the next quarter, and marketing strategies for Black Friday in the United States). The tipster said the password for the webcast was changed a day or two ago, which was probably why Tipster Matt couldn't connect.

Thanks, Apple Reseller!

Liveblogging Apple's 2007 Q2 results

That's right, kiddies, Apple is having their quarterly results call today and TUAW will be liveblogging it. Oh, I am sure it'll be lots and lots of fun. Marvel as Apple refuses to comment on future products. Gaze upon record profits (I'm guessing). Thrill as all talk of the stock backdating scandal is avoided.

The webcast starts at 2PST (that's 5pm EST) and will be available here if you want to listen yourself.

Adobe unveils new Creative Suite 3 packages - watch the live webcast this afternoon


Today is the big day, ladies and gents - Adobe has officially unveiled a plethora of new Creative Suite 3 packages and products, all of which are available for preorder now. With this new suite, the acquisition of Macromedia in April of 2005 has come to fruition, with all products now under the Adobe umbrella and incorporated into various new CS3 product bundles.

To aid in the selection of a new CS3 package, Adobe has created a thorough product matrix that makes even the many versions of Vista cry. To further help navigate all the new products and features, Adobe has of course revamped their Creative Suite product pages and has also posted some introductory videos to help bide the time until this afternoon's live webcast event that we mentioned earlier. The webcast begins at 3:30EST today, but don't fret if you're all booked up for the day - it will be recorded and available for streaming for the ultimate in 'pajamas-at-3-am' viewing experiences.

Preorder pricing for Creative Suite 3 packages begins at $999 for a new suite (Web Standard), and $240 for upgrades (Design Standard). The Design suites are scheduled to begin shipping in April 2007, while Production Premium is slated for Q3 2007.

Reminder: Apple to webcast today's conference call

Later today, at 2pm PT, Apple will webcast their financial conference call for the 2nd quarter of 2006. As Macsimum News notes, a number of analysts are saying that Apple will report their second-best single quarter results ever this afternoon. Stock holders: You may want to get your certificates out and give them a brief hug.

Apple to webcast Q2 financial conference call

Apple has set a date for their financial conference call for the 2nd quarter of 2006 (spoiler alert: things are going well). The whole thing will go down on Wednesday, April 19th at 2pm PT. You can catch the webcast here. Since we don't get live keynotes anymore, this will have to do.

No live Keynote webcast, again

The only thing more fun than poring over all of the new stuff that's revealed during a Steve Jobs keynote is watching Jobs himself deliver the goods. He's such a talented public speaker, and knows precisely how to work a Mac geek like me into a credit card-fueled frenzy. For the past couple of years at least, Apple has not provided a live web broadcast of the keynote, opting instead to post the video to its website after the fact. It looks like that's the plan for this Tuesday as well, which is disappointing. I'll watch the video, of course, but watching it happen live is so much more pleasant than impatiently waiting for a bare-bones and overburdened website to refresh its content.

Come on, Steve, let us have the webcasts back. Aside from feeding my adolescent need for instant gratification, the webcasts are a real display of Apple's technical prowess. Or something.
